Apparently I was too subtle so let me put a lampshade on it.
The replies to the post which said that the XY problem approach is useful in product development, which are talking about XY reframing being a problem on stackoverflow are XY reframing the parent post.
They are doing exactly what they decry.
The smell of irony is apparently not as thick in the air as I thought it was.
